Lee Creek Bridge

The Lee Creek Bridge is a historic bridge across Lee Creek in Van Buren, Arkansas. Now closed to traffic, it is a three-span truss bridge located west of Rena Road on the city's west side. The bridge's single Pratt through truss was built in 1898, and a pair of Warren pony trusses were erected in 19

30 to replace a second Pratt truss. The trusses rest on original stone piers. The bridge has a total length of 296 feet (90 m), of which 126 feet (38 m) is the Pratt truss. The bridge was bypassed and closed in 1995. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
